doktor zhivago Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Found a hitchhiker in my new planted tank. Aquarium co-op contaminated their plants with snail eggs 😔 (I kid). I named him Steven. Honestly surprised he's surviving my uncycled and now half cycled tank. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's like half the size of a grain of rice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cryptkeeper Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I also had one come in from an ACOOP plant during the cycling process! It's been awesome watching him grow and his shell form. I named him Stanley. 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solstice_Lacer Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) Love a free snail. Most of my bladder snails are descended from one hitchhiker. I named him Pete, hence they are all referred to as Petes Edited March 10 by Solstice_Lacer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
